@Finist2020,

Your the first to ask that question.🤔  If you were asking about a 75+ W card, needing a PSU upgrade, I could really help you. Alas, your the one in a million with a low power GPU question. But I have to ask, why?  If it is a game, specify.

@Finist2020,

It's only 40W. Try it.  Report back.
